CW: Ro Khanna, Silicon Valley Democrat with mainstream appeal #USpol
Analysis: #Progressive #Democrat brings pitch to rural America https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3963448-progressive-ro-khanna-brings-pitch-to-rural-america/
"Khanna’s alignment with the tech sector distinguishes him from progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who has been critical of the industry’s influence. While #Khanna is clear-eyed about areas for improvement, such as #privacy and #dataprotection, he believes it offers the party opportunities as well." -

But he didn’t sound heroic last week. He sounded frightened and whiny." #martyr

CW: FCC nominee drops out #uspol
#GigiSohn withdraws her nomination for FCC https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/7/23629307/gigi-sohn-withdraws-fcc-commissioner-nomination "[O]ver the last 16 months, a brutal and oftentimes bad-faith lobbying campaign has continued to block her nomination. That’s left the FCC with a 2–2 partisan split that has blocked many of Biden’s goals for the agency, including reinstating #netneutrality rules." The lack of a functioning #FCC is also endangering services like the Affordable Connectivity Program, with which I've had a lot of trouble.

CW: Internet as a utility #uspol
The Argument For The Internet As A Utility: Is It Time To Change How It's Delivered? (2020) https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2020/06/17/the-argument-for-the-internet-as-a-utility-is-it-time-to-change-how-its-delivered/?sh=918915772958 The article is still relevant as the #Senate struggles to confirm consumer advocate Gigi #Sohn as #FCC chair. The pandemic has made obvious what disabled people already knew: #Internet service is as crucial now as wired telephony was in the 20th c. and should be regulated as a utility, not a luxury. #NetNeutrality #utility #CommonCarrier

Most Americans don't understand how #prohibition works https://www.axios.com/2023/02/03/most-americans-tobacco-ban "The majority of Americans (57%) support a ban on the sale of all #tobacco products and even more support blocking sales of #menthol #cigarettes [favored by Black people] (62%), a CDC study ... found." Not mentioned: how much more policing and jail capacity would be needed to enforce it. Americans have forgotten how cops killed #EricGarner for selling loose cigarettes.

What if Linux ran Windows… and meant it? Meet Loss32 https://www.theregister.com/2026/01/06/loss32_crazy_or_inspired/ "The gist of the idea is to run the whole user environment, desktop and all, inside WINE, ... with just enough plumbing to connect them up. This is significantly different from the current way, which is to run a completely Linux-based stack – the kernel, an init, a userland, a Linux display system, and a Linux desktop, and then run Windows programs inside that." #Windows11 #Linux #Loss32

#Instacart wrongly signed me up for a paid subscription, which took me 2 hr. of phone calls to undo. They also try to trick users into subscribing at checkout time with a preselected opt-in that isn't visually obvious. 2/2

#Malware infiltrates #Pidgin messenger’s official plugin repository https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/malware-infiltrates-pidgin-messengers-official-plugin-repository/ I used to use Pidgin to communicate with friends on AIM and similar messenger apps. The malicious plugin was offered only as a binary, not open source code. Worryingly, it had valid signatures, and so did the malware it downloaded. #DarkGate #Jabber #messenger

Bloomberg: #OpenAI interim CEO plans to rehire #Altman, #Brockman https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/openai-interim-ceo-plans-to-rehire-altman-brockman-bloomberg-3238509 'OpenAI’s board [previously] said that Altman had not been “candid” in his communication with the board, which was one of the reasons behind his ouster.' My guess from the beginning: a personal scandal was about to become public.

#Reddit is blocking logins on mobile for some users, asking them to use the official Reddit #app https://www.ghacks.net/2023/06/12/reddit-is-blocking-logins-on-mobile-for-some-users-asking-them-to-use-the-official-reddit-app/ I hope this doesn't become a trend.
